Here's a question for Darryl:

You say the GPL is invalid, yet you sell/distribute SAMBA as part of your
product.

Given that the GPL IS indeed an illegal/invalid license, have you
contacted each and every SAMBA developer requesting permission to
distribute their source code?

If not, will you indemnify your customers if any SAMBA developer (whose
code you are selling/using illegally) decides to sue SCO and/or your
customers?
-----
SCO-Unix without SAMBA? Who do you think is gonna want THAT?
